Best Things Ever Said
A good quote gives us a fascinating snapshot into how great minds think.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: The Gentle Art
My first sparring session (or ‘roll’, as its known colloquially) was an education into how vulnerable we are. It’s comparable to being thrown into a pool without knowing how to swim, or trying to control a boa constrictor. I remember being absolutely manhandled. Using pressure and techniques completely foreign to me, I was dissected in...
God Of Workout
As far as bucket lists go, Joe Naufahu must have a pretty impressive one as he has ticked off a few things that most mortals could only dream about. He has played professional rugby. He is the founder of Ludas Magnus, a gym and a community that has changed the lives of many New Zealanders...

Modern-Day Family Values
It seems to me that modern-day family life is not only getting unbelievably busy, but it’s also getting more and more disjointed. What used to be a weekend is now a series of ‘events’ and what used to be interaction now seems to be a group of people at the same location whose minds (and...

A Jeepster For Your Love
Back in the early 70’s, the hair was big, the shoes were platformed and the trousers were bell-bottomed wider than Cheshire Cat’s Smile.

11 Deadliest Animals on the Planet, And How to Survive Them
The animal kingdom is a strange and wonderful place. From architects to mimes, assassins to philanderers, each animal has its own niche, a role and place.

Climbing The Podium: Kiwis at the Winter Paralympics
The Winter Games, both Olympic and Paralympic, usually pass with minimal mention down under, but in the case of the compact Kiwi Paralympian team heading to South Korea this March, there’s reason to take notice.

The Mazda SKI-ACTIV Experience

There Is Lots Of Depression In New Zealand
Whilst the subject of depression never really goes away, it has certainly bubbled to the surface lately with the recent quick-fire suicides of high-profile people such as TV superchef Anthony Bourdain and world famous designer Kate Spade.
